This is something I've done in the past for other marques for limited edition models......usually with the co-operation / assistance of the manufacturer :nooo: (Porsche are not interested)........but it can be fun and so I thought I would start it for my boxster Black Edition :bandit:

The 987 Black Edition is an interesting car in that it is really a prequal to the 981GTS ie all the best options with some bespoke trim and a power hike. It was also fitted with the 987 Spyder engine (slightly higher capacity and HP than a boxster S)

According to ...

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=✓&q=porsche+boxster+black+edition&commit=Search#

of the 987 made worldwide 85 in total where registered between 2010 - 2011 in the UK

and 78 still registered (I know of at least one currently being broken for parts)....

2011 987 Porsche Boxster - Black Edition Price List - UK

The Black Edition was fitted with many "options" as standard above an S model ie

I013 Special Model "Black Edition"
I022 Black Couloured Instrument Dials, instrument cluster
I025 Black Couloured Instrument Dials, stopwatch (if Sport Chrono fitted)
I148 Boxster Engine with Power Increase (+10HP)
I178 Twin Tailpipes, Black
I181 Climate Control Zones
I267 Automatically Dimmable Interior and Door Mirrors
I268 Rain Sensor
I288 Headlamp Washer
I445 Boxster Spyder Wheels, 19"
I454 Automatic Speed Control
I496 Black Paint Headlight Rims
I551 Wind Deflector
I603 Xenon Plus Dynamic cornering Lights
I610 DVD Navigation, "Europe Package"
I665 PCM 3 Basic Module incl. Radio
I672 PCM 3 Offroad Navigation
I767 Internal Code
I825 Black Dash Trim
I840 Sports Steering Wheel
I870 Universal Multimedia Interface
IX70 Door Entry Guards in Stainless Steel with Logo
IXD9 Wheels Painted in Body Colour
IXSC Porsche Crest Embossed in Headrest

and so the main differentiating factors amongst individual cars are options such as:

PDK/Manual
Sport Chrono
PSE
PASM
Full Leather
Sport Seats
Heated Seats (remarkably not standard)
some specced the mutli function steering wheel over the Sport wheel
and then really individual options such as body colour centre console, carbon trim, etc......

The following register will try to capture the differences between each car in the UK and is designed to be "built up" over time from cars advertised for sale or owners contacting me with the details of their car to add to the register......

I will update the table below as and when there is new information added...
